Top 10 African Animals
The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large cat and native to Africa and central Iran. It is the fastest land animal, estimated to be capable of running at 80 to 128 km/h (50 to 80 mph) with the fastest reliably recorded speeds being 93 and 98 km/h (58 and 61 mph), and as such has several adaptations for speed, including a light build, long thin legs and a long tail. It typically reaches 67–94 cm... read more Beautifully spotted coat and fast hunters. They black lines under their eyes are to cut the glare down from the savanna
Cheetahs are pretty awesome. I would know because 10 year old me had a cheetah obsession
Ah, Cheetahs. So beautiful and stealthy. Fastest and best hands down
You're kidding, right? The sloth 3 places better than the lion? Go watch Lion King, go on a savannah safari. Which animal seems more majestic, a LION or the sloth that does absolutely nothing?
How the hell did the sloth get up to 1st place? It's so slow and it does not even live in Africa! It lives in South America! The lion is gazillions of times more amazing!
Lions area awesome. I know almost everything that is fascinating about a lion.
African elephants are elephants of the genus Loxodonta. The genus consists of two extant species: the African bush elephant, L. africana, and the smaller African forest elephant, L. cyclotis. Stupid African cats! Carnivores don't deserve to be the best. Besides, the African Elephant is the strongest animal in the whole world!
I like this one because pretty soon because of poaching there won' t be any left alive if people don't start protecting them.
This should be number one! Better than those stupid cheetahs and lions! Elephants are the real kings of the jungle!
The leopard is one of the five "big cats" in the genus Panthera. It is one of the most adaptable and the most widespread big cat; it's secrets being:well camouflaged fur; its opportunistic hunting behaviour, broad diet, and strength to move heavy carcasses into trees; its ability to adapt to various habitats ranging from rain-forest to steppe and including arid and mountainous areas; and to run at... read more Leopards are beautiful too, and they actually are as fast as a flamingo that can reach speeds of 35 mph.
Strong, agile, and graceful. A fascinating animal beyond imagination
The ninja of the jungle.
The giraffe is a tall African hoofed mammal belonging to the genus Giraffa. It is the tallest living terrestrial animal and the largest ruminant- hoofed herbivorous- on Earth. Traditionally, giraffes were thought to be one species, Giraffa camelopardalis, with nine subspecies. Most recently, researchers proposed dividing them into up to eight extant species due to new research into their mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, as well as morphological measurements. Seven other extinct species of Giraffa are known from the fossil record. ...read more. There's a place in Kenya called Giraffe Manor, where you can actually have breakfast with giraffes. Looks so amazing to not only see the animals in their habitat, but to actually touch and be apart of them, if you get my drift.
Hyenas or hyaenas are any feliform carnivoran mammals of the family Hyaenidae /haɪˈɛnᵻdiː/. With only four extant species, it is the fifth-smallest biological family in the Carnivora, and one of the smallest in the class Mammalia. Hyenas aren't what people think. They're clever animals, effective predators, and caring parents. There should be a movie where the hyena's the good guy.
Hyenas are my favorite and did u know that lions are the scavengers (except for the females) and the hyenas are the hunters? I don't know people say hyenas are evil I get in the lion king they were but honestly the lion king is a made up show so hyenas aren't evil it's just their nature to hunt and stuff it's like with any other carnivore even wild dogs are carnivores too so screw people who think hyenas are mean!
Underappreciated, You've Hypnotized by Disney to kill out these animals.
The common hippopotamus, or hippo, is a large, mostly herbivorous mammal in sub-Saharan Africa, and one of only two extant species in the family Hippopotamidae, the other being the pygmy hippopotamus. They kill more people than sharks and lions.
Crocodiles (family Crocodylidae) or true crocodiles are large semiaquatic reptiles that live throughout the tropics in Africa, Asia, the Americas and Australia. The term crocodile is sometimes used even more loosely to include all extant members of the order Crocodilia, which includes the alligators and caimans (family Alligatoridae), the gharial and false gharial (family Gavialidae) among other extinct taxa. ...read more. Crocs kill more people than sharks. Sharks don't like the taste of people, but crocodiles do.
Zebras (subgenus Hippotigris) are African equines with distinctive black-and-white striped coats. There are three living species: the Grévy's zebra (Equus grevyi), plains zebra (E. quagga), and the mountain zebra (E. zebra). Zebras share the genus Equus with horses and asses, the three groups being the only living members of the family Equidae. Zebra stripes come in different patterns, unique to each individual. Several theories have been proposed for the function of these stripes, with most evidence supporting them as a deterrent for biting flies. Zebras inhabit eastern and southern Africa and can be found in a variety of habitats such as savannahs, grasslands, woodlands, shrublands, and mountainous ...read more. Zebras are awesome
A rhinoceros, commonly abbreviated to rhino, is a member of any of the five extant species (or numerous extinct species) of odd-toed ungulates in the family Rhinocerotidae. (It can also refer to a member of any of the extinct species of the superfamily Rhinocerotoidea.) Two of the extant species are ...read more.
The lion (Panthera leo) is a large cat of the genus Panthera native to Africa and India. It has a muscular, broad-chested body, short, rounded head, round ears, and a hairy tuft at the end of its tail. It is sexually dimorphic; adult male lions are larger than females and have a prominent mane. It is a social species, forming groups called prides. A lion's pride consists of a few adult males, related females, and cubs. Groups of female lions usually hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. The lion is an apex and keystone predator; although some lions scavenge when opportunities occur and have been known to hunt humans, the species typically does not actively seek out and prey on humans. ...read more.

Gorillas are herbivorous, predominantly ground-dwelling great apes that inhabit the tropical forests of equatorial Africa. The genus Gorilla is divided into two species: the eastern gorilla and the western gorilla, and either four or five subspecies. The DNA of gorillas is highly similar to that of humans, from 95 to 99% depending on what is included, and they are the next closest living relatives to humans after chimpanzees and bonobos. ...read more.

The serval is a medium-sized wild cat native to Africa. It is recognized for its distinctive coat, featuring a tawny background with bold black spots and stripes. Servals have a slender body, long legs, and large ears with excellent hearing capabilities. They are adapted to a semi-aquatic lifestyle, often found near wetlands or marshes. Servals are skilled hunters, preying on a variety of small animals like rodents, birds, and amphibians. They are known for their unique hunting technique of leaping into the air to catch birds in flight. Despite their striking appearance, servals are elusive creatures that are rarely seen in the wild.
